Simply put, when I stop actively using the computer for a few seconds and then go back to use it again, the trackpad is no longer responsive. Everything else on screen looks fine. Then after about 5 or 6 seconds, the trackpad starts responding again. It doesn't happen all the time, just periodically, but gets very annoying when trying to take notes in class.

Anyone else had this problem, or is there another thread on it that I haven't found?
